PAGE. THREE

Once upon a time there was a queen who ruled over a -kingdom in India. But In the land there was one great hoi'row there was no child to inherit 'the crown. The queen grew sad and wandered about . her gardens weeping, but one day a fairy queen came and brought a beautiful boy, which she placed in a golden basket near the queen's bed. So the baby was adopted and the whole country made happy. Kveryone liked this arrangement except a big gray rabbit, which had been the queen's pet for years. Bunny was getting old now and was not as frisky as he used to be when a kitten, but he had .also grown mean and jealous. One day the baby was sick, so the queen sent at once tor the fairy queen. In she came riding on a shell made out of spun gold and drawn by two humming birds. She saw Bunny over in a corner hiding behind a velvet curtain and at once understood what the bad rabbit felt that he was angry and jealous that the baby should take his place in the queen's affections. "I am -so worried." exclaimed the queen, bending over the baby, who seemed in a fever, "can you not give me something which will cure him?" "I do not think he is seriously sick," replied the fairy, " but I will give you two bottles of medicine. This in the golden bottle is a drink which must be given him at midnight. But this in the purple flask is a poison. It must be used only by putting a spoonful In (he bath water. Now impress upon the Eurse this important fact that the golden bottle is the medicine which

in ust. be given at midnight, while the other Is a deadly poison, and only to be used in baths." Now, (Sunny heard this, and a wicked scheme came into his head ho would change the bottles and then the baby would i get poisoned and If Mere was not any baby the queen would take him back again as her pet. "I can change the bottles," he said, us he bid himself under the silken curtains about the baby's crib, "If that nurse dozes off in the night." For a Ion? time the nurse kept n wu Re, but about' a quartet to twelve she dozed oft. Bunny crept out and put the purple' bottle in the place of the golden one. which he hid on the shelf. Clang, clnng, otruck the clock, sounding midn'ght. The mirse got up and gave the . baby n drink from the purple buttle, us she was sleepy, and did not notice that 'tht medicines had been changed. Bunry lay awake expecting to hear the baby was worse, but it went back to sleep and seemed to rest more soundly than before. ' Just as the clock struck one the door opened and there, in a cloud of

pink and crimson haze, stood the fairy. In her hand was a long wand, but the look on her face was one of anger, as

she saw on the table the wrong bottle. Then from under the crib's curtains

she saw a rabbit's foot peeping out.

"Come out from your hiding place, you wicked Bunny!" called the fairy.

Ana the rabbit, scrambled out in ter ror.

"I saw you behind the velvet curtain when I was telling the queen about

the medicine and I fixed up this way

to catch you. There was not medicine in either bottle only pure water. But

I had an Idea that you would try just in this way to get rid of the prince and I set the trap to catch you."

Newspaper Syndicate, New York.

Poor Bunny was weak with shame

and terror, for he knew the fairy would punish him well. "Now, I will begin," she said, as she took out a green powder, sprinkled it

on the rabbit and said over him some strange words. "First, as you are a

big rascal I will make you very much

bigger than you are now about the

size of a small horse. . And Bunny 'began to swell and swell till he was as large as a pony. ."That will do now," continued the fairy, "as she sprinkled more powder.

"You are a listener, an eavesdropper, that pries into other's business. For

this you chall have great, long, shaggy ugly, ears that keep continually wagging backward and forwarrY' And Gunny's ears grew big and shaggy and ugly and wabbly. Then, in disgust he gave a big bray and ran out of doors as a donkey, which

he and his children have been ever

since. Tomorrow's story "The Singing Sprite."

CITY DEBATES

"We were so busy yesterday making preparations for the natural gas rate case, to be heard this afternoon at Indianapolis before the state commission, that we did not have time to discuss the financing of the electric, plant purchase project," City Attorney Bond said this morning just before leaving for Indianapolis. This question will be taken up Saturday." It is probable that when council meets next Monday evening it will receive an ordinance authorizing a bond, issue, accompanied by a communication from the board of public works urging its prompt enactment. Mayor Robbins, City Attorney Bond and Alfred Bavis, John McMinn and Charles Marlatt of the board of public works attended the gas rate hearing in Indianapolis today.

CHIEF BLAMES

Continued From Page One) crrests of Lee Nichols and John Kelley, the latter a hotel proprietor, I believe it to be my duty to warn the public, especially parents, of the neces

sity of exerting more control over juveniles, both boys and girls, and ;of providing clean, : wholesome amusements attractive to young people.' I sincerely believe that if many .parents took more interest in their children, moral conditions in this city could be improved at least - fifty ; per cent. The practice of many parents in turning their boys and girls loose upon the streets to enjoy whatever r.musement ; uncontrolled night life provides, is all too common in Richmond. It is my intention from this time on to make as complete a list as possible of parents who make no effort to exercise control over their children, thereby contributing to their delinquencies. I intend to ve this list to the proper authorities with the request that wherever possible prosecutions be made. ' . Parents to Blame. My investigations have revealed an astonishing number of delinquent children, especially girls, who would not be forced to prowl the streets, , the easy prey of mashers, if their parents took any interest in 'their welfare. I believe it is possible thrt wholesome amusements, , properly supervised, amusements that young people are forced to seek in public amusement places, can pe provided. , This, I am sure, would be a great aid in reducing, the number of cases of juvenile delinquency. Congested conditions in . many homes in this city naturally result in forcing young people, who are of the age where they crave " amusements, onto the streets. Society must con

serve these young people. This conservation cannot be accomplished through the medium of certain public places of recreation that these young people are naturally attracted to. -I hope this solemn warning will result in all parents appreciating the dangers existing conditions provide for their boys and girls; that it will impel them- to take more interest in their children's welfare, to see that they frequent only proper places of amusement under proper escort.' There is much work to be done also by our civic organ:zations in the saving of these boys and girls. . ; (Signed) H. D. GOODWIN, Superintendent of Police.

WHAT IS URIC ACID?

THE CAUSE OF BACKACHE, RHEUMATISM, GRAVEL AND SUDDEN DEATH.

Ever since the discovery of uric acid In the blood by Scheele, In 1776. and the bad effect It had upon the body, scientists and physicians have striven to rid the tissues and the blood of this poison. Because of its overabundance in the system it causes 1ackache, pains here and there, rheumatism, gout, gravel, neuralgia and sciatica. It was Dr. Pierce who discovered a new agent, called "Anurlc, which will throw out and completely eradicate this uric acid from the system. "Anuric" is 37 times more potent than Itthla. and consequently you reed no longer fear muscular or articur rheumatism or gout.-, or many br dixeases which are dependlnt on

an accumulation of uric acid within the body. Send to Dr. Pierce of the Invalids' Hotel and Surgical Institute, Buffalo, N. Y., - for a . pamphlet on "Anurlc," and send 10 cents for a large trial package of "Anurlc" Tablets. j If you feel that tired, worn-out,' feeling, backache, neuralgia,, or If your sleep is disturbed by too frequent urination, go to your best store and - ask for Doctor Pierce's Anurio Tablets. Dr. Pierce's reputation is back ot this medicine, and you know that his "Pleasant Pellets" for the liver and his "Favorite Prescription" for the ills of women have had a splendid reputation for the past fifty years.
